Hammer\u2019s 1996 documentary \u201cTender Fictions\u201d is the second in a trilogy of autobiographical films that includes the iconic \u201cNitrate Kisses\u201d and \u201cHistory Lessons\u201d. The film was chosen for the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, for which Lisanne Skyler wrote, \u201c[Barbara Hammer\u2019s] struggle becomes symbolic of all those who have rejected the ideals by which they were raised\u2026a moving and provocative look at the role of community in an artist\u2019s life and the role of the artist in her community.\u201d<\/p>\n
From a collage of old home movies, photographs, interviews, sounds and quotations, the documentary film details Barbara Hammer\u2019s childhood as a young girl born into an Ukrainian family, with a mother who wanted her to be like the child actress Shirley Temple, and a grandmother who worked as a cook for the actress Lillian Gish. It chronicles her life in the 1960s and the moment in 1970 when she first heard the word lesbian and realised that it applied to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","programa":[22],"class_list":["post-1703","filmas","type-filmas","status-publish","hentry","programa-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filmas\/1703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filmas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/filmas"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"programa","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/festivaliskreives.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/programa?post=1703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
